are the stars of the tourism industry. The area stretches from
the central highlands in the north through an isthmus to the
Nusa Dua Peninsula, also known as Bukit Badung.

walled out by the sea of Bali on the north, Karangasem on the

natural scenery and unique history.

Gianyar
Regency : located at the central of Bali as the
second most populated region of Bali, is the cultural heart
of the island. The highland town of Ubud, in particular, has
acquired a reputation as a center of art after several foreign
artists settled there in the 1920's 1930's and 1950's. Geographically,
the region is very distinct.

Jembrana
Regency : This regency is thought to have been
established in the early 1400's, although civil war broke out
and the regency became part of the Badung regency. In the 17th
century, sparsely populated Jembrana was not of much interest
to the other royal Balinese kingdoms and for a time it was ruled
over by a prince from Sulawesi. Jembrana was one of the first
kingdoms to surrender to the invading Dutch in the 1800's.

Karangasem
Regency : during the 18th and 19th centuries
Karangasem was the most powerful kingdom in Bali but in the
middle of the 19th C, it became a vassal of Lombok. Covering

breathtaking landscape formed by lava flows from Gunung Agung,
the sacred mountain of Bali. Beautiful terraced paddy fields
lie at the lower southeastern slopes of the district while coffee

smallest district, lying on the southeastern coast of Bali,
including the islands of Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Ceningan.

Semarapura is a bustling commercial center and its market is
the largest in Bali
